While We checrfully grant that no

or more energetic interest In District
affairs than the chairman of the Senate
District Committee, and that he thor.

the substantial welfare of the National
Capital, we cannot quite agree with the
Senator in the views attributed to him
by Post interviewer relative to street.

According to the interview Mr.. In.

panies can no more be expected to pro-
vide comfortable seats for passengers,

hotel keepers can be held responsible

A hotel is in the nature Of things a

imam or seyud will gather his flowing

it should brush against the intidel and

people. too, would as soon think of COM
hitting suicide as drinking water from
the same cup as a Christian.
More fanatical and dangerous, because
less civilized and more warlike than
their Persian neighbors, are the At
ghanS. These valiant and turbulent
warriors of Islam present the extreme
wing of Musselman fanaticiSm and re-
ligious fervor these days. To that
strange. wild country and in Southern
| KhoraSSan my mind wanders intuitiyely
whenever think of the Mohammedan
religion and its faithful devOteeS. My
| wanderings took me into places where
no civilized foot has trod for nearly
twenty years past, and in one particular
section of country where no foreign
traveller has ever been before. Here L
found the villages and the nomadlc
tribes living in state of primitive SIM
plicity and dense ignorance of all things
beyond the pale of their immediate sur
roundings and their religion. When at
| sunset the people would turn toward
the WeSt-Mecca being west from that
country-and perform their customary
prostrations and prayers, they would
fall to wondering among themselves
why it was that I, too, did not follow
suit. Why was it that L, of all the peO-
pie there, omitted to bow my forehead to
the ground and sing out, 'There is no God
save one God, and Mohammed is his
prophet?' L used to explain to them
that most Christians devote one day out
of seven to the worship of Allah and
appropriate the remaining six to their
own uSe At this they would regard me
with greater establishment than ever,
and would laugh and talk among them
selves at the strange inconsistency of a
people who give but one day out of
seven to Allah, to whom all days right
fully belong, because he made them and
has power over everything.
So far, our bicycle trail has led us
among people who, whatever their diff
ferenceS, all believe i'll one and the
same God. The ''Allah' Of the MOham-
medanS is the God of our own religion;
and it is only in the means of approach
ing him and securing his favor that the
Christians and MOhammedans differ.
But as we pursue our course through
India the people who now stare III mute
wonderment at the bicycle are he athens
who Will have none of the Christian or
